Ingredients

  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into cubes
  • 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup clover honey
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 package (1.7 oz) teriyaki dried seaweed
  • 1 mini cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 small avocado, halved, peeled, and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Add rice and water to a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold into the cooked rice. Divide rice between two serving bowls.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and onion powder. Add salmon cubes and toss to coat.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the salmon and sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes, flip gently, and cook another 5 minutes until salmon reaches 145°F and glaze thickens.
  5. Drizzle remaining glaze over the rice. Crumble half of the dried seaweed into each bowl. Arrange cucumber slices and avocado next to the rice and top with glazed salmon.
  6. Finish with a sprinkle of black sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
  • Bake salmon at 400°F for 12–15 minutes if preferred.
  • Customize with toppings like shredded carrots, edamame, or radishes.
  • Cook rice and glaze ahead, but assemble fresh for best results.
  • Reduce honey or add lemon juice to balance sweetness.
